Today the house is mine again. I should do some cleaning, laundry, etc. Should ... but I did not... I started a new quilt.
This is my inspiration: an antique quilt, dated 1910/1920. It's offered on eBay.

Lady of the Lake
The kids are back at school after a two-week vacation. The weather was awesome and we had a great time.
Today the house is mine again. I should do some cleaning, laundry, etc. Should ... but I did not... I started a new quilt.

I love traditional patterns like that. Are you going to make every block with different fabric? BTW, I ordered the craft book so I can make the Little Faithy doll (since I didn't win it)! Ha Ha!! Don't know when I'll do it, tho. At my guild meeting last night we had information on dying and they said that tea & coffee dyes are acidic and they suggested using a tan dye (which I guess you can water down somewhat). I'm going to try that when I make the doll.
The Ebay quilt is great. I love the colours. I have always wanted to make one like that too. I bet yours will look even better! AQnd about laundering and cleaning, it won´t go away so it can just as well wait one more day! Take care.
I love that pattern. Are you going to use a different fabric for each block? It will be stunning.
That quilt will be stunning Lucy!
I’m with you on the cleaning stuff! From the moment I had finished my clients orders today, I have been working on quiltblocks. I love it!
I did not have the patience to sit outside and enjoy the sun...
Great block an a great quilt.I´ll see what I do with some informations I got now!!!
Oh, it's going to be lovely and it will be your very own creation. Love it!
A quilter can never get enough "whites", now can she? I seem to hoard them, yet I murmur to myself in the process of using "just" white as the contrasting colour: This will get boring... You prove me wrong! The quilt will be absolutely wonderful. And super-exciting! Good for you for skipping (postponing?) the chores;-) So happy to see the result of you being happy, Lucy. Thank you for sharing!
LOVE THAT QUILT, YOURS WILL BE BEAUTIFUL TOO! DON'T YOU JUST LOVE IT WHEN YOU HAVE THE HOUSE TO YOURSELF? HAPPY SEWING, MARY
A beautiful pattern and I know you'll made a beautiful quilt!
What a beautiful start you have made on a beautiful quilt.
Two lovely quilts! the EBay has one block made wrong! Funny, and charming. This is going to be beautiful. Much better than cleaning house! ARgh
Your blocks look like left overs from the original. Can't wait to see your quilt when it's finished. This is a pattern that I've often thought of doing...someday...
Hey, we have a new puppy...wait til you see what we named her...!
I saw that pattern in a book I picked up recently on swap blocks and friendship exchanges. I'm a traditional quilter for the most part, too. Looks nice!

Oh Lucy! I LOVE it! And guess what! I got your package mailed today! I can't wait for you to get it!
Love your beginning Lady of the Lake. I've been saving scraps for it (precut squares from leftovers of other quilts). Eventually, though, I will have to buy some 'scraps' as I lack background fabrics. Great job!
